GAO Report 2011 Recommendations • #1: That the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force take action to review all EULs for terms and conditions similar to those that our legal opinion concluded were inconsistent with applicable statutes; determine whether steps are needed to help ensure that the EULs are in compliance with applicable statutes; and, if so, then implement these steps. • #2: That the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force take action to take steps to ensure that all EULs provide that if and to the extent that the leased property is later made taxable by state or local governments under an Act of Congress, the lease shall be renegotiated, as required by subsection 2667(f) of Title 10, U.S. Code. • #3: That the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force take action to review and clarify guidance describing how the FMV of the lease interest should be determined and how the receipt of FMV can be best ensured.
